Periodontitis is attributed to the dental biofilm formation caused by various microbial changes that occurs in the biofilm. Red complex organisms are a group of organisms linked with periodontal diseases. Therefore, it is of interest to identify potential targets from the red complex organisms to bind with the herbal compound silymarin. We report a list of potential proteins having optimal drug like binding features with the herbal agent silymarin for further consideration. We used the STITCH v.5 pipeline using VICMPred and VirulentPred tools to identify such targets as potential virulent factors in the red complex organisms. We considered the strains of Porphyromonas gingivalis ATCC 33277, Treponema denticola ATCC 35405 and Tannerella forsythia ATCC 43037 in the red complex pathogens for this analysis. Protein targets in the red complex organisms with optimal binding features with the herbal compound silymarin were thus identified and reported for further consideration. |
